Tall Tales >>> Bio At first glance, one might notice an overall tone to Tall Tales and the Silver Lining’s sound—a West Coast reality: mountainous cliffs overlooking the Pacific; vast deserts meeting infinite blue skylines; cities, suburbs, and towns lost in the new America. Upon closer inspection we hear the universal languages of love, grace, thankfulness, pain, friendship, regret, and sorrow cheek to cheek with strikingly beautiful melodies. Simple, yet textured. Burt Bacharach and The Grateful Dead. Hawkeye Pierce and Kyle Field. Tall Tales and the Silver Lining is the nom de plume of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Trevor Beld-Jimenez. Starting in the summer of 2007 with an invite to record a personal stash of songs for Ventura, California’s premiere independent label, Beehouse Records, Beld-Jimenez quickly developed a strong and loyal following—and in short order recorded three works for Beehouse: Short Songs by Tall Tales, Earthling, and The Understanding. Robin Hilton of NPR’s All Songs Considered called Beld-Jimenez’s music “intimate and heartfelt,” and observed that, “the songs of Tall Tales and the Silver Lining ramble down leafy paths through cool forests and dive headlong into the ocean. It's a carefree mix of country folk, with simple guitar strums that mingle playfully with spare rhythms and sweet harmonies.” Gearing up for Fall In—his fourth Beehouse release—in March 2010, Beld-Jimenez and company are stoked to say the least. With ten tracks infusing folk, coastal Americana, neo-spirituality, and soft rock à la Bread, this album embraces the ever-evolving mind and a world in constant motion. Let go and fall in.
